Meet Furhat, the terrifying AI assistant with a face: Robot is trained to move and talk like a human

A Stockholm-based startup has developed a talking AI assistant with a face. Furhat combines digital assistant technology akin to Alexa or Siri and humanoid robots like SoftBank's Pepper to create a device that's creepily lifelike. It's essentially a disembodied head that can be customized with different faces - even characters from the sci-fi film Avatar. Furhat is a social robot created by Stockholm-based startup Furhat Robotics. It weighs just over 7lbs and is essentially a disembodied head with a face projected onto it.
